Shouse says an autopsy is planned Monday at a medical examiner's office in Madisonville.

Jenkins was charged in September with four counts of scheming to defraud the county.

Federal prosecutors said Jenkins was accused of soliciting and accepting approximately $20,000 in cash in 2014 in his official position as Union County judge-executive. The money allegedly came from someone identified only as "J.H." Prosecutors said in return, Jenkins directed that false invoices be submitted by "J.H." for payment by the county for purchase of equipment.
